<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1282089, member: 31533&quot;]According to the webpage <a href="http://www.pcgs.com/books/breen-proofs/Chapter09-010.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/books/breen-proofs/Chapter09-010.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/books/breen-proofs/Chapter09-010.aspx</a> which also has a obverse and reverse picture of a 1916 proof cent....</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<b>Cent.</b> [1050] Very rare and seldom offered, though many sharp business strikes have been masquerading as proofs. The finish differs very slightly from that on the 1915 or earlier matte proof cents and as a result authentication is very difficult. In part one must use the broad borders, exceptional sharpness on devices, sharp edges (inner and outer) on raised rims, together with the completely uniform texture which does not resemble mint bloom or frost. Processed coins will not have the sharpness of the genuine. The enlarged illustration may help. Private sale records above $400.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I, myself, don&#039;t have the expertise to say one way or the other on the traits of this, but does this really look like it has a broad boarder with exceptional sharpness? I&#039;m not sure I see it. If others could help, I&#039;d appreciate it. Also is it fairly graded at a 6?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
